Replace the oil pan by performing the published Workshop Manual (WSM) service procedures. After removing the oil pan, it is suggested to allow the crankcase to drain overnight to minimize the chance of residual oil contaminating the crankcase sealing rail. Remove all traces of old RTV, clean the engine sealing surface with only Motorcraftù Metal Brake Parts Cleaner then wipe with Motorcraftù Metal Surface Prep Wipes, and allow to air dry as directed in WSM, Section 303-00, RTV Sealing Surface Cleaning and Preparation. If possible, after the new oil pan is installed, allow the new RTV sealant to cure for 4 hours before refilling the engine with oil. Ford is investigating this concern. Monitor OASIS for future updates.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10137145-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2018/MC-10137145-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10137145","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"EDGE","year_from":2014,"year_to":2017,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_ford_edge","2015_ford_edge","2016_ford_edge","2017_ford_edge"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-150","year_from":2015,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2015_ford_f-150","2016_ford_f-150","2017_ford_f-150","2018_ford_f-150"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"FUSION","year_from":2017,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_ford_fusion","2018_ford_fusion"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"CONTINENTAL","year_from":2017,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_lincoln_continental","2018_lincoln_continental"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"MKX","year_from":2016,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2016_lincoln_mkx","2017_lincoln_mkx","2018_lincoln_mkx"]},{"make":"LINCOLN","model":"MKZ","year_from":2017,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2017_lincoln_mkz","2018_lincoln_mkz"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
